Please congratulate the 2014-2015 Science Olympiad Team and our head coach Ms. Nosavanh. They did an amazing job during the tournament. They have been working so hard since October. We are very proud of them.

Last Saturday, they represented Harmony School of Science with great pride. The Official Science Olympiad Members agreed that they showed incredible teamwork and support for one another. Therefore, they won the Most Spirited School Trophy for Division B! On top of that, they won 2nd place in Robo Cross and 3rd place in Wheeled Vehicle. Most importantly, they placed 4th in the Regional Competition.

During the End of the Year Award Ceremony, Ms. Nosavanh will be presenting them each with an engraved trophy to honor their participation, dedication and hard-work in Science Olympiad.

Due to the limited number of conference times available, your child’s teacher filled out a form to let you know if a conference is required. If your child’s teacher checks the box stating that a conference is not needed at this time, you can request a phone conference or an email to check on the progress of your child. If you feel that a face to face conference is necessary, please let your child’s teacher know so one can be set up on a different day. Teachers will be more than happy to schedule time to meet with you. Please keep in mind that walk-in conferences will not be conducted on this day. Also be courteous to other parents by showing up to your conference on time. We look forward to a smooth Parent/Teacher Conference day.

National School Breakfast Week 3/2-3/6

The first week of March is National School Breakfast Week. In honor of this week, we want to encourage students to eat breakfast at school. According to the NEA Health Information Network, "studies of school breakfast programs have found that students who eat breakfast at school show improved academic achievement -- especially in vocabulary, math and standardized tests -- have better attendance records, are less likely to be tardy and exhibit fewer behavioral and psychological problems. Children who regularly eat breakfast also have a better quality of nutrient intake and are less likely to be overweight or obese." So make breakfast time your favorite time and make time for school breakfast!
